Getting a referendum passed in Wisconsin takes hard work and creativity. In Wisconsin Dells, the district obtained financial support for almost half of their high school project from local municipalities. In Spencer, the district obtained a federal grant for a substantial portion of their $6 million project. The presenters will take a deep dive into these and other case studies to show how to minimize costs and maximize benefits, and implement creative communication techniques that result in referendum success.
